Man charged over alleged threat to MP Joanna Cherry

A man has been charged in connection with alleged threats made against SNP politician Joanna Cherry.

The Edinburgh South West MP reported the incident to officers on Monday.

This was the same day Ms Cherry was dropped from her justice role on the SNP's frontbench team at Westminster.

Police Scotland said a 30-year-old man had been charged with a communications offence and a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
